Book of advice for getting kids to eat healthy


Posted by Kristen D.

Check out Jessica Seinfeld's new book "Deceptively Delicious," for great ways to get kids eating healthy without them knowing that there are veggies, or other healthy foods not so popular with some young ones, involved.

I'm definitely going to buy one at some point. Has anyone else read it?

"Feed Me, I'm Yours" is another great book about healthy food for kids. While some kids are already picky eaters, for whatever reason, and I have lots of ideas for "hiding" vegetables and other "undesirable" foods from my experience with kids who are turned off by certain foods, I think it's ideal to not hide vegetables from kids but to teach them from a young age that they can be delicious and that you like to eat them because they are good for you and make you feel good. A large part of eating well as a kid is developing good eating habits. If you don't know you eat vegetables and believe you hate them, that may not serve you well as you start to choose your own foods. I am a firm believer that many people don't like vegetables because they aren't expected to. Change the expectation!!
I also hear that Sneaky Chef is great. One of the moms brought a brownie recipe to our MOMS Club meeting and it was fantastic. She said there was spinach and cauliflower in the mix (I think?!).

Yes, and it's TREMENDOUS... She's got very creative ways of 'sneaking' in the healthy stuff, yet making the food fun and delicious for kids to eat.
